TAKING A GIRL TO THE THEATRE.
Social Red Tape TO Which Men Are
Not Inclined to Submit.
Frorn DC san Francisoo .4rqonnu

From the San Francisco Argonam.
New York doe parties are necessity, or
else the women must remain at home. There
is always good natured theatre-going man
about somewhere, and be is in demand, for
escorts of the better sort are rare. These
theatre gong, cloak-carrying and gossiping
men are to be seen everywhere, and ALWAYS
with magnificent women. Apparently thew
have choice of girls They are useful, and
they seen torealize that that is the sole cause
of their existence. 1t is not difficult to
tell why young men of position and person
ality do not ursurp the privilege of the
obliging man. The detail and bother of
theatre going under certain aspects are
what keep the more important of the
men shy Many young New York bust
ness or professional man feels inclined to
take lady to the theatre occasionally after
dinner, and would be exceedingly glad TO
run in on her about 8 o'clock and cart her
off 20 the play, after the good old Ameri-
can fashion. But this is not possible nova
days. Though the nondescript and aniable
escort may take the girl or wife TO the thea
tire without preliminary details, the man Of
the world is forced to go through such a
wealth OF details that the trouble outweighs
the joy. He must write polite note to the
girl originally, and ask her if she can't go
on the following Tuesday TO DAYS she
writes him hatrering little reply, in which
she explains that she is thrown into state
of CHASTITY misery by the fact that she has
dinner party on Tuesday. and is engaged
for Monday and Wednesday nights. But
she and mamma could go Thursday, if that
night would do.
The man of the world bolts the MANN a
with blast-furnace sigh, gives up the
cherished idea of going to a prize fight on
Thursday night, and then drops a meek
mite expressing delight at the prospect Of
going on Thursday TO the play with the
girl, especially with her mamma. Monday
he has to leave his Office early in order to
get MP to Days in time to buy good seats.
OF course, be gets very bad ones, for they
always book weeks ahead at that house
Thursday he sends the bouquets, hires a
double carriage, hurries around like a mar
tyr, takes the ladies to the theatre, and
listens to the inane platitudes Of the mothe
and the chatter of the girl until the play
has drag ed its weary length along. Who
ever knew girl to tals well in the presence
of her mother in public plaes Tae man
of the world takes the pair Ons after an
evening of wearisonne artifIciality, and
swears by the moon that hewiH never do
it again One item Of the excursion is the
coca. Bnt more fatigufng and annoying
than anything else, is the intolerable bother

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Secretary Whit

The Shin RAILWAY,

P1r1sBuRa. March 14.-Since the death OF
Ca plain Eads was announced there has
been considerable speculation as to whether
the great ship r..ilway, of which he was the
protector, will be completed. Pittsb 'rg
parties interested express the opinion that
the project will be carried out. The en-:
gineers in charge, Colonels Andrews and
Corkell are thoroughly competent to COM
plete the work and all that is needed are
charters from the United States and the
Mexican Governments. Sufficient stock
has been subscribed to almost complete
the work, independent OF appropriations
which have her.to been requested. The
hill before the last Congress did NOT ask for
an appropriation, but simply asked that a
charter he granted. The Mexican Govern
ment will be requested to grant. the COM
nanv a charter. Stockholders are conf
dent that the request will be promptly
honored and the great Tehuantepec Canal
project will be completed.
